MOVIES

friends
My favorite sitcom of all time. This is my goto series if I am in need of a mood uplift or just a background sound when I am working. I have seen it more than 40 times.
the office
My favorite thing about The Office is the mockumentary style of filming. It is so cool when the characters talk meta and comment on their own stories.
the big bang theory
This show appeals to the nerd in me with all the science stuff thrown over the comedic banter between the characters. Its also interesting to see how a neuro-divergent person, like Sheldon, relates to others.

ARCHITECTURE

This is one of my favorite buildings. It is St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in New York designed by Santiago Calatrava. It is simply exquisite.
santiago-calatrava
Baroque and Georgian styles of architecture capture my eye. I think they are really beautiful and elegant.

NATURE

I like wide open spaces, clouds, waterfalls and fields. When the world is that big, nothing could be so terribly bad.
open-spaces
I really like wildlife shows and documentaries on nature. I have always found biology an interesting subject. Talking about dragonflies, sitting in a meadow overlooking a lake would be such an ideal way to spend an afternoon with a friend.

BOOKS

the murder of roger ackroyd
Agatha Christie is my favorite English author. I loved the mystery genre before I found out about her but I was hooked to murder mysteries after reading A Witnesss for the Prosecution. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is my favorire book of hers.
murder at the orient express
An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment in the Orient Express, stabbed a dozen times, his door locked from the inside. Isolated and with a killer in their midst, detective Hercule Poirot must identify the murderer.
five-little-pigs
This is such a clever story related to a nursery rhyme! Beautiful Caroline Crale was convicted of poisoning her husband, yet there were five other suspects. It is sixteen years later, but Hercule Poirot just can’t get that nursery rhyme out of his mind.
